The Operation Christmas Child delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love. After receiving shoebox gifts, many children are invited back to participate in a Samaritan’s Purse discipleship program, The Greatest Journey. In this 12-lesson course, which includes Bible stories and Scripture memorization, they learn how to follow Christ in their daily lives as they share Him with friends and family.
Since 2009, 26.5 million children have enrolled in this 12-lesson program to learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. More than 12.5 million of these boys and girls have decided to accept Jesus as their Savior during the course. Many are now praying for and sharing their faith with family and friends.
